CODE: QFontDialog::getFont as in examples/dialogs/standarddialogs/standarddialogs
PROBLEM: The QFontDialog box doesn't display the sample text in the language/characters available. I expect to see Arabic letters when I select Fonts with only Arabic letters available. This should be detected automatically if possible. Otherwise, in case of fonts which supports many languages there should be a Language combo box as in OpenOffice.org.
Which is difficult. What's the default language of e.g. Tahoma, that support all of Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, Arabic, Hebrew and maybe 3 or 4 others?
This is the reason why we didn't go that way. If you select arabic in the font dialog, and you will get the arabic sample chars and only see the fonts supporting arabic in the family list.
Another note is that the "Writing System" QComboBox doesn't sort the items alphabetically in the Writing System combo box so it's rather difficult to find the script.
It probably should, you're right.
